A Dam Good Ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Thanks, Discodan for the warning - much of the track will be closed tomorrow due to a reduction burn so doesn't look as though this ride is really fesable
Doesn't stop me from wanting to go there another time, though...

Still wrestling the gorilla
Replaced the Mavic/ Nevegal combo for an XT/ Ignitor 2.1 tubeless combo. I was hoping for a good result but this was better than I thought.

Forum Round up for Dec 17
As the holidays approach hope everyone is in great shape and looking forward to some great riding coming into the new year.
It seems a few people are heading overseas and there was a question about Packing up a bike - very handy for those who'll be flying. Sadly not everyone has been having luck with their equipment though, jp even asked, Anyone got a contact at Giant? regarding a problem with his BB. Might be best to go easy on the guys in the LBS over the next week or two though, as they are under the hammer it seems. More shiny new bikes on the trails in the near future then!
For those who'll be looking to work of some stuffing and mince pies, Discodan asked about the Best club to start racing? Seems there are a few around our area, but nothing local. Oh well, if you can't beat 'em and all that. Although it looks like Sydneysiders have walked away with D and B grades as reported by CCOMTB D grade cross country champione! Well done guys! Brian noted Capital Punishment Entries Open, but this caused a little discussion due to the organiser's poor luck with their events last year.
Other random threads of interest:
What is Mountainbiking about?
6 Foot Track trip
SRAM vs Shimano shifter action, a revelation
Dealing with Sweaty Clothes after Morning Ride
Bike Bingle - report accidents and near misses
While elsewhere on Global Riders the GTA crew discuss the merits or otherwise of a Maximum Adventure Race on the trails they have worked so hard on - tricky subject. And BMORC crowd said, Thanks to everyone for turning up tonight after their important meeting Tuesday night.

Moving to Melbourne
Hi, I'm moving to Melbourne in the new year - change of job, shame to leave Sydney but it's a great opportunity.
Anybody got info on the area, trails to do, websites or forums to check out, clubs to join, good bike shops to visit etc......
Thanks in anticipation.

new year Kiwarrak ride
Hi folks will be staying in port Maquarie region between 29th and 3rd and would like to spend some time riding the awesome trails of Kiwarrak
hoping to meet others to ride with .So if anyone thinks they might be also be riding these trails around this time we could possibly organize a ride meeting.
I am pretty flexable on time so I can fit in with others, allthough morning rides are preferable.
cheers Craig.

This is why you don't stop in the middle of the track. Sure the guy probably got a little close but seriously what a drama queen.

If someone threw their bike at me like that I think I'd pick it up and keep rolling
